Complete Setting

Alright the voting is closed, a little late but hey this house won’t paint itself.  It was a heated race between Shimmer Blue and Grand Stripe but the Stripes won out by one vote.  For those of you concerned we wash our towels every week and we use Oxy stuff to keep them white.  Besides I have to get the white in while Little Man is still small enough, once he is a teenager there won’t be white towels for a long time.

I think that I should order the towels after we decide the room color. It would probably look best if the stripe were either a contrast or a match to the wall color so I’ll need to see what you decide to do here.

Thanks for all of the great comments.  Now I need to work on the wall colors.  Maybe I should ask everyone who has an idea to write a guest post describing what they think I should do: color, patterns, treatments, decals, etc.. whatever your idea is.  Then afterwards we can vote on the ideas.  Are there enough people interested in writing their ideas?  With the Thanksgiving tomorrow I won’t be doing anything this weekend but if you can let me know if you’d be interested in writing an idea let me know before Tuesday.  It doesn’t have to be anything long, just a paragraph or two describing what you think the walls should look like. Don’t worry about exact colors if you want it matched to something in the room already for example to match it to the yellow of the ducks in the curtains, then I can do that.

I got some great ideas from a couple of readers so now is the time for you to chose. Again give me some feedback. The old towels that we have will be donated to either our local SPCA or to one of the local organizations working on the Bay oil spill. They definitely won’t go to waste.

I’d like to make this blog more enjoyable and increase my readership. What would you like to hear about? Does anyone want to do guest blogging about decorating, crafts, etc…?

Without further ado here are your nominations.

Andrea Blue

Chromatic Stripe

Duckies

Grand Stripe

Prince

Tommy Blue

Shimmer Blue

Classic

Sea Shells

Tommy Yellow

Blue Polk Dots

Turkish White & Blue

Jacquard Dots

Those are your nominees. Give me your vote and your feedback on the selections. I’m working on some photographs for the wall. Keep your fingers crossed.

OK the blue ducks have it.  Although barely and I’m not sure what to do about a cup.  Yondalla suggested dixie cups but I’m not sure I can do it.  Lots of paper that ends up in the composting bin.  I already have a trash can and recycling container under the sink.

I’ll be ordering the tooth brush holder, the soap dispenser and the tissue box.  I don’t have room for a trash can out on the floor and we don’t use bar soap.

Next week we need to get towels. In order to get more input I’m asking you my faithful readers, yes all six of you, to submit a suggestion for a towel.  They can be plain, embellished, patterned, whatever you think will look best.  I only ask that you consider that they will be used.  We don’t have things that we don’t use.  The other is no velour.  No offense to those who like it but ugg.  That is definitely not the feeling for me.  Submit a picture (or link), where I can buy it from and what you like about it by an email.  Don’t put it in the comments because I won’t attach names on the voting post.

Maybe I should have a prize for the person who suggested the winning towels?  Anyone want to win a baby blue clam shell sink?  LOL

Here are the choices for bathroom accessories.  Vote for your favorite and I’ll add the pieces we need to our bathroom.  You have until Monday morning to vote.  If there is a tie again, I’ll leave the voting open until it is decided.  Tell me what you think of these and let me know if you like one I didn’t find. I’d love to know where people find things online.
